Q1) What kept on inspiring to write books?
The inspiration to write comes from within and it is difficult to pin-point it.
Q2) Can you describe briefly about each book you have wrote till date?
I have published 6 Literary books, titled: Pentacles; Frosted Glass; Abyss; Winter Poems; Random Subterranean Mosaic: 2012 – 2018, and Etchings of the First Quarter of 2020; and 1 Technical book, titled: Articles on Ductile Iron Pipelines and Framework Agreement Methodology.
Pentacles comprises one novella and four long narrative poems.
Frosted Glass comprises one story cycle consisting of 14 stories and one poem cycle consisting of 21 poems.
Abyss is a full length play in two acts with an interval in between. It is essentially a crime thriller full of suspense.
The poems contained in the collection Winter Poems, were inspired by the relatively mild season that prevails in Kolkata following the season of festivities, the Durga and Kali Puja, and portray myriad shades of human life.
Random Subterranean Mosaic 2012 - 2018 is a kaleidoscope of random, yet structured to a pattern, fiction, semi-autobiographical, and autobiographical pieces, covering poems, short-shorts, opinions, observations, and conversations.
Etchings of the First Quarter of 2020 comprises a novella and a poem cycle. The novella deals with dualism of life and the poem cycle is a duel between the poet and his alter-ego.
